ASA FREE PLAY ON Houston Astros -1.5 Runs -120 over Kansas City Royals, Wednesday at 2:10 PM ET - We’ve hit the fade button on bad road teams like Colorado/Arizona/Texas/KC/Pittsburgh with a number of our picks this season and with solid success overall.  We’ll pull the trigger again on Wednesday afternoon and side with the Houston Astros on the run line.  Kansas City was shutout 4-0 here yesterday and this dropped the Royals to 24-38 in road games on the season.  53 of Kansas City's 69 losses this season have come by 2+ runs and that includes 17 straight defeats by more than a run.  62 of Houston's 74 wins have come by 2+ runs.  Royals are 0-3 in Mike Minor's last 3 starts including his most recent against the Astros so Houston gets another look at him in his very next outing which is unlikely to help him.  The Astros Lance McCullers is 10-4 with a 3.21 ERA this season and off a big win in his most recent start.  The Astros have been up and down of late but they are first in the West and the much better team in this match-up plus at home and off a momentum-boosting win and at a reasonable -120 price range on the run line. Take Houston Astros -1.5 on the run line.
